Select the correct text in the passage.
which line in this excerpt uses the logical fallacy of ad hominem?

the stage was set, the speakers were on, and members of the first band of our new concert series were psyched to perform. as soon as they started playing their first song, that football field became a dance floor hopping with action. however, the fun didn't last long because those red and blue lights began to flash, and soon the dance floor was quiet. "we had a noise complaint from a neighbor," a police officer explained. the police, as usual, were as friendly as could be, but, because of the complaint, we had to turn down the volume. things never recovered after that, and soon the crowd shrank to a pathetic cluster.

the future of the concert series is currently unknown. once again, neighbors can pat themselves on the back for to ruin a perfectly good program. rather than having fun at the school football field with the support of school security, we might have to go elsewhere. do community members really think that is a good idea? more than likely, all they are concerned with is their selfish desire for pure silence and 8: 00 p. m. bedtimes. as students, we don't complain when our neighbors wake up at the crack of dawn on saturday to cut down their trees with chain saws. if they choose to use chain saws on their property, they have the right, and we completely respect that right. but apparently these same neighbors do not respect our right to have fun on school property.

the uncertain future of the concert series is a shame. our school has a lot of talented musicians, and the waiting list to play is three pages long. now, rather than having the chance to play before a crowd, students might have to put down their guitars and stop singing. do we have to play the harp to win our neighbors' approval? everyone knows that older people prefer to listen to soft, classical music, not popular music like rock or rap. these are the types of music we choose to play to entertain others; if the neighbors cannot stand our music, they should plug their ears.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
